The information about the pandemic is overwhelming for the majority of people, but this article is on a positive note, i.e., a good positive note. In case you have tested positive, bear in mind that most people are recovering.
In order to make recovery, you need proper rest with the help of the right medicine, breathing exercises, a couple of additions to your nutrition and some good music.
If you have already beaten Covid, congratulations. Regardless of which situation you are in at the moment, there is one thing you can control, and that is your diet.
It’s important to keep a good diet so you can get back to your old self as soon as possible.
Below you will see 3 healthy lunch ideas that are easy to make and at the same time taste delicious.
There are many different versions of an egg salad, but usually most of them start with the same base – eggs. The number of eggs you can add to the salad is a personal preference.
A good thing to keep in mind is that if you use fewer yolks, it will make your salad lighter. However, if you like a little more richness, feel free to add as many yolks as you like.
Also, to keep it as healthy as possible, you need to replace the mayo with Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is high in protein and low in calories which will make the egg salad diet-friendly and extra delicious.
You can add diced celery for crunch and Dijon mustard for that extra flavor. You can serve the salad on toast. Feel free to add arugula and sliced tomatoes as well.
Ingredients:
Servings – for 3 people
Preparation time – 15 minutes
Ingredients for Serving:
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and chop them. Take a big mixing bowl and add the chopped eggs, dill, celery, pepper, salt, mustard, and Greek yogurt.
Mix well until combined. Serve the egg salad on a piece of toasted bread with arugula and tomatoes. Put this in your bento box and you have a healthy lunch always ready to eat.
Note – the leftover egg salad will stay fresh in the fridge for around 2 days. Before serving, make sure you stir the leftovers.
Bon appetite!
